It was a scarf when I was a cub at 6th Crawley, Sussex 30 years ago but I'm now getting used to the "necker" now I'm an ACSL in Euxton Lancashire. I guess the opposite to the last post. Nothing like a change...

I call (and always have) it a necker.
I told one of my scouts to knock his necker so that he wouldn't lose his woggle during a wide game, and this sparked a 5 minutes debate as to whether it was a necker or scarf. Eventually he gave up, as all three of us leaders said it was a necker.
I think there is also a question of generations... the older generations seem to stick by necker, whilst the younger ones stick to scarf.
